Hello everyone. This site is going through a HUGE revamp. We're working really hard on making this site big again. With your patience, we can do this. Please check back in a little while. Thank you.

Large enough to accommodate a double class (about twenty cauldrons), icy cold water pours from a gargoyle's mouth into a basin in the corner and students can see their breath in this room during the winter months.
If one follows the narrow stone staircase leading from the Entrance Hall to the dungeons, the entrance to Snape's office is halfway down the cold passageway leading from the foot of that staircase. Snape's office is adjacent to the Potions classroom, or at least close enough that Hermione could slip from one to the other and back without being spotted during a commotion in class during her second year. By Harry's fourth year, Snape had a charm on his office that "none but a wizard could break" which would have prevented Peeves from getting in and meddling with his possessions, although Dobby was able to get in and steal gillyweed from Snape's stores anyway.
Snape is in the habit of keeping the place dimly lit, judging from Harry's visits during his second, third, fifth , and sixth years. Snape has a fireplace (which is sometimes lit) that is apparently connected to the local Hogwarts Floo network, since he was able to call Lupin (then working at Hogwarts) through the fire, and Lupin was able to travel through the fire to Snape's office.
The walls, which are in shadow, are lined with glass jars, including the wall behind Snape's desk. Each jar contains some potion (differently coloured in different jars) in which is suspended slimy bits of some animal or plant (different ones in different jars). For example, one jar contains a large dead frog suspended in some purple liquid. Snape also keeps a cupboard in one corner containing his private stores of potion ingredients. Snape also keeps a wall clock, occasionally an extra table, and a chair or two for visitors.
The Hogwarts kitchens are located directly below the Great Hall and are just the same size. They have high ceilings and a great brick fireplace at one end. Mounds of brass pots and pans are heaped around the walls. There are preparation tables directly below the four house tables in the Hall above, and when the time comes for the food to be served, it is magically transported through the ceiling of the kitchen onto the plates. The kitchens are staffed by over a hundred house-elves. To get to the kitchens, take the door to the right of the main staircase in the entrance hall. Follow the corridor until you come to a painting of a bowl of fruit. Tickle the pear and it giggles and becomes a door handle.
